News and Gigs View this email in your browser The album launch night at The Glad Cafe was a huge success and was great fun. I would like to thank all that came along and helped out on the night and a big thank you to Rosanne Reid who played some astonishingly beautiful songs - (watch out for her new album) and my bandmates Jim McDermott and Nico Bruce, all of whom played a 'blinder' on the night. I may have to consider putting on another band show later in the year.  Photo courtesy of Paul Kerr @ Blabber & Smoke Read the Album Launch Night Review from Blabber & Smoke  The new album is now and well and truly out, and is picking up some great reviews along the way - web site will be updated with album reviews shortly.

Himalayan Cafe - Charity Fundraiser

In 2015 I visited the Himalayas and was touched by the lives of the people in the mountains and the extreme conditions which life there entails. Monasteries form an integral part of Tibetan life because they provide education, healthcare, food and support for local communities. They are the 'hub' of mountain life.

I chanced upon an opportunity to raise money for those people through the Himalayan Cafe in Edinburgh and will be performing songs from the new album ‘Of These Lands’ with an evening of music and food for the soul on the 2nd of June.

Friday 2nd June

The Himalayan Café
20 South Clerk Street
Edinburgh
